The value of most enterprise companies is dictated not just by growth and new revenue, but by renewals and upsells. Wall Street rewards companies with high renewal rates and punishes companies with low renewal rates. Customer Success teams are the 'sales' team when it comes to renewals and upsells, and content is the key to engaging customers.
Webinars targeted towards existing customers are a good way of sharing product updates and new announcements. Peer-to-peer customer communities are another channel to facilitate knowledge sharing. Participation, attendance and engagement rates are a challenge for many marketers. CSMs use a mix of 1:1 and automated blast emails.
Convert webinars into content that CSMs can use to proactively nurture customers.
Give CSMs content that falls in three categories -
Thought-leadership - because customers want to learn new best-practices and trends
Product-specific - to drive more usage of specific features or new products
Community-focused - to drive social proof and community engagement
Thought-leadership content is typically considered in the top-of-the-funnel stage of a buyer's journey. However, we've found that customers are perpetually looking to learn about new trends and best-practices. You can repackage thought-leadership content for existing customers!
The munchable key moments are short videos that are great for use in your Help center. Embed these in help articles directly.
Ability to share content with CSMs. Access to Parmonic.
You can also use the Sales Enablement module in Parmonic to package the outputs for your CSM team in an online briefcase. They can then download GIFs for emails or post directly on social media without logging in to Parmonic.
Add renewal and upsell focused webinars to your schedule. These could be customer interviews which can also be used for top-of-the-funnel marketing or peer-learning sessions.
Ask CSMs to share content based on customer interest and progress. This is usually captured during CSM calls and periodic briefings. Customers love content that is specific to them.
